New York City fire officials say a fire in Trump Tower’s heating and air conditioning system injured two people and caused smoke to billow from the roof.
The Fire Department of New York said the fire started at around 7 a.m. ET Monday at the building, which contains U.S. President Donald Trump’s home and business offices.
